Museum Kam is now a depot with a Sunday tour

The Museum Kam building functions as an archaeological depot and research centre; the public can only see the collection during booked guided tours.

Roman material from Kam

Pottery, glass and metal from G.M. Kam’s collection remain an important part. Note the find location and dating for each piece, and ask how old collection records are checked.

A provincial depot

The Archeologisch Depot Gelderland stores material from the Stone Age to modern times. A depot organises and researches far more than can be shown at once; the tour makes that selection visible.

Oscar Leeuw’s museum building

The 1922 building was itself designed for an archaeological collection and later restored. Look at light, display space and gallery as parts of an early museum concept.

Before you go

There is no walk-in access. Book a Sunday tour via the Valkhof calendar and check the current start time before you set off.
